What do they love most about playing their sport(s)?

Chandler loves the thrill of the game, the teamwork, and the chance to make new friends. He lights up when he’s out there giving his all, and he especially loves cheering on his teammates. Winning is fun but for Chandler, it’s really about having fun, staying active, and playing with heart.


Who inspires them—on or off the field—and why?

Chandler is inspired by his mom and dad because they work hard, support him, and always remind him to believe in himself. He also looks up to Patrick Mahomes for his confidence, leadership, and how he stays calm under pressure while having fun doing what he loves. He also looks up to pro athletes who lead with kindness and give back to their communities, like Russell Wilson.


What’s one moment in their athletic journey that makes you proudest?

One moment that made me the proudest was when Chandler helped a teammate up after a tough play, then encouraged him to keep going. That day, he showed that being a true athlete isn’t just about the score it’s about character, heart, and lifting others up.
